The Video Game Game! ['80s Throwback]

[Jiro]

Thirteen was the game which had a suspiciously large amount of influence on our previous game. It was, of course, the original Dragon Warrior. If you said Dragon Quest, I gave it to you, because I'm not a jerk, but a harsher judge might have judged you incorrect!

Fourteen was The Bard's Tale. Don't know much about this one at all, except that it probably has a bard in it who tells a tale. There's also undoubtedly a pub/inn. All good games have a booze house.

On 15 points each, we have Vyk and latecomer Vivi22! A valiant effort by both of them. Good work and good luck for next time!

Game 15 was Wizardry. Bunny informs me it has a subtitle of Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord but I am not aware of this fact. Still, have a pat on the back for being super precise.

Game 16 was Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness. I giggled because they both had skeletons and I thought it would trip everyone up. Unfortunately some of you still got them right. Jerks.

Game number Seventeen was Prince of Persia. Before he had scarves and claws and a bad attitude and was the prince(s) we know today, he was some dude running and jumping and swording in a labyrinth castle. Actually sounds pretty familiar

18 was Kung Fu Master! Another fighting game, I thought it would trip people up by being similar to Yie Ar Kung Fu. It didn't work, but it was still good to have another game where you beat the crap out of people!

I was impressed with the number of correct answers on this, by far the most well known the entire line up!

Metal Gear, really?! O_O

Number 11 was a good one. It has a long title, and I made NorthernChaosGod give me the whole and complete title or risk losing points. Payback for apparently cheating But 11 was none other than Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei! No MegaTen moment for NCG unfortunately

Did other people get away with MegaTen?! You swine.

Number 19 was King's Quest: Quest for the Crown. King's Quest sufficed, but Bunny wanted to be extra right. I love making you people go to great lengths unnecessarily, it makes my day (iluBunBun)

Number 20 was... NOT TELLING. I'll do that one at the end

21! It was Bomberman. I didn't know he was blowing up before the 64, but so he was! Good work my bomb loving buddy, good work.

Twenty two was Zork. It has a subtitle, but nobody cares because it is smurfing Zork. Everybody knows Zork. Except a few people, which is alright because it was just text

On 20 points was Guardian XIII. What a mighty effort from a mighty guy! But, he came up short and didn't quite repeat his previous performance. Good luck for next round!

Apart from FF and Pacman, yeah Pretty sure someone missed DK Which makes it the best excluding the ones everyone should know. I should've been clearer, but w/e you get that

Digital Devil Story or go home. Nobody got away with MegaTen

Oh, okay. Now I get it.

Digital Devil Story or go home. Nobody got away with MegaTen

Just checking.

TWENTY THREE! The Legend of Zelda. Bust your ocarina out and play us a tune, someone. Link's first adventure was a good one, and spawned a legacy not unlike that of Final Fantasy. Except it didn't rip off another popular game iirc

Twenty Four gives us that one. The one that caused the great crash. ET The Extraterrestrial. What a balls game. Seriously I want to dig up that landfill and individually break the out of them.

Twenty Five was of course the original bad game (unverified), Custer's Revenge. It had everything! Dodging arrows, raping women, doing it all again. Quite a, uh, interesting game, to be sure.

ON TWENTY FOUR POINTS and narrowly missing perfect runs were: Yeargdribble, Rase and Bunny. Great great effort, it's pleasing to see you get stuck in guys!

[Jiro]

Which brings me back to number 20. Only one person got it. It was none other than Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu. Sweet name, no idea how good a game it was. But it was a good challenge for you all so I'm glad I included it!

And, of course, that brings us to the winner. We all know who it was. The determination of this lad to be perfect is commendable. I struggle to find words. While I'm doing my best to make it hard for him, he's doing a great great job. Congratulations on 25/25 to NorthernChaosGod!

That wraps up this '80s Throwback edition of Jiro's Guessing Game. Thank you for participating. We had smaller numbers this time around, but hopefully next edition will prove successful! Feel free to send me ideas on themes to run!

In a few weeks another round will pop up, so keep your eyes out for it and experience the wonder. Not sure what it will be yet, so everyone's in for a surprise!

Peace out

smurf yeah. /smug

And Justy dont forget Justy

[NorthernChaosGod]

Do tiebreakers count toward overall score?

[Bunny]

So who'd you get to give you answers this time?

[NorthernChaosGod]

Myself. o_O

[Jiro]

Tiebreaks don't count. Otherwise the people who don't tie for the lead are at a worse disadvantage.

I did forget Justy. Justy got 30/25 so is therefore champion
